The Prototypical Male Feminist
Donnie Northrup is a white male (scroll to the middle of this page to see a picture) who recently tabled a motion at Carleton University to end funding to a cystic fibrosis charity because, according to him, the disease affects predominantly white males, the demographic that is the favorite liberal whipping boy around the world.
Here is the motion with the offending section bolded:
Motion to Drop Shinerama Fundraising Campaign from Orientation Week
Whereas Orientation week strives to be [as] inclusive as possible;
Whereas all orientees and volunteers should feel like their fundraising efforts will serve the their diverse communities;
And Whereas Cystic fibrosis has been recently revealed to only affect white people, and primarily men
Be it resolved that: CUSA discontinue its support of this campaign
Be it Further Resolved that the CUSA representatives on the incoming Orientation Supervisory Board work to select a new broad reaching charity for orientation week.
Moved: Donnie Northrup
Seconded: Meera Chander
Check out the names of the Carleton student body councillors who, all, with the exception of Nick Bergamini, voted for the motion to cut the funding. I suspect that quite a number of white people were there and a few of those were white males. Most voted for this motion.
Northrup is a prime example of what brainwashing can do to white males. Think he is repentant in the face of university outrage? Think again! The mirage of the moral equalitarian high ground allows Northrup to live vicariously as an honorary woman or minority, and thus redeem the ‘sin’ of being born a white male. Only when he has engaged in a sufficient amount of self-flagellation can he become sufficiently diverse...

Could it be considered ironic if Mr. Donnie Northrup would be infected with this disease later on in his life? (Not that I would wish it up him).
But for the rest I am speechless :<
Ah, I was hoping you'd comment on that story - or this one.
pj,
I fired off an incendiary comment to the mail but it looks like they are not accepting comments after Nov. 28. I basically said it would be poetic justice if male warriors from enemy tribes came in and wiped out these women. It would be doubly ironic if these women had to defend themselves against attacks because, by their own logic, they would then have to cull the women who fought. The story serves to illustrate female privilege of ducking out of defending the village and then using this cowardice to pretend as though they are more peaceful than the men, many of whom would have likely been forced to fight by the women. It's a double bind that can only be resolved by the men imposing a social patriarchy upon the women.
As awful as the story is, what is more disturbing is the comments posted below the article and also the lack of any substantial coverage, let alone condemnation, by the media. This shows that the public at large is entirely comfortable with giving women an open pass to kill men. If one thinks about it, most people are already fine with the whole abortion plague so I think only logical for these people to then extend the license to kill to babies. If women commit infanticide in Canada, they are not prosecuted because post-partum depression and any number of arbitrary emotional conditions are valid defenses. Spartan mothers had the freedom to kill off their allegedly cowardly sons.
So if one thinks about what the PNG women did, it is not much more different from the criminal behaviour that women have been abd are allowed to engage in around the world with impugnity.
It is also untrue that the sufferers are predominantly men. It affect males and females equally but diagnosis is usually delayed in females(may lead to no diagnosis, thus misleading statistics) and they die earlier than the male sufferers although both have remarkably reduced life expectancies (around 36 years) I can't find anything other than wiki on the male/female rates being the same(I'm sure they are) but his article is related http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/156/2/165
On one hand, I think it is actually a good policy for the University to rotate charities every so often. But the reason for axing this one is Orwellian.
liesel,
You are right about the disease being sex-blind.
With all the hoopla over breast cancer, I think more emphasis should be given to diseases that affect men because I'm pretty sure that most other univs. keep breast cancer charities in the rotation for much longer than is warranted...
I assume this is in England.
In the US, it's still way better to be a white male. The society is extremely racist towards minority men. Most of it is hidden though, but pretty much everybody hates minorities, especially women, who hate minority females as well (nomarriage.com has some articles on this). I personally dislike racism of any kind, but there's really not much you can do but shrug, if you say something you get identified as a sympathizer or your blood line gets questioned as your motive for disliking racism.
Anyway, the reason I mention this, is it seems out in England it is white men that have been reduced to such a status. I am against both, since I consider it racism either way (indeed, that is the very definition of racism, it is not supposed to differentiate between a majority and minority, but rather it refers to race period).
Ah well, what can you do I guess.
phoenix -
What is up with this attitude accusing millions of others of "hidden racism" but claiming to be above it yourself?
People(including YOU) naturally identify with their tribal groups - that doesn't mean they hate other groups or are trying to screw them over all the time although it can result in that. Survival of the groups has historically been necessity for survival of individuals. In civilized society we can get around our tribal nature for the most part and interact without trying to kill each other but unfortunate events still occur.
You are not excused from the human race nor some special creature who can diagnose others flaws while claiming to lack them yourself.
phoenix,
It is in Canada. It is arguable that being a white male is better in America compared to, say, Canada or pussified Europe where white males are on the hook for most of the tax burden, which is larger per capita in these heavily socialist regions than the tax burden per capita in the US.
Black males and white males face different problems, all of which are caused by feminism. We need to present a united front to the feminist attack and allegations of massive racism will only divide us if such allegations are unsubstantiated. Obama, especially in Iowa, would not have got so many whites to vote for him if there was rampant racism.
The problem is that the feminists have divided the white man against the black man. Employed men, be they black, white or brown, are for some reason content with financing women while other men are continually deprived of jobs which are gifted to women.
Men resort to violence as a result of unemployment. Black men are harder hit because they are generally not well educated (blame the feminists for directing money toward educating females only) and have to compete with illegal immigrants for jobs. The feminists then use this violence to demonize men but fail to mention that the violence is an indirect result of mass female affirmative action employment. They then mobilize white men (e.g. Joe Biden, Sam Brownback) to fight black men through legislation.
In general terms, most racism is IMO caused by white FEMALES, not white males. White males are the tools of white females. This is why black females took a very long time to join the feminist movement. If one gets beaten up by the Joker's GOONS, the temptation is to blame the GOONs, not the Joker because the Joker didn't actually do the beating. Blaming the GOONs obscures the fact that the beating was instigated and orchestrated by the Joker.
